Fog leads to arrival delays at Philly airport

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Foggy conditions have been causing some flight delays at Philadelphia International Airport, but forecasters say conditions are improving and have cancelled a weather advisory.

Airport spokeswoman Victoria Lupica says some arriving flights Sunday have been delayed for as much as 2½ hours due to the fog.

The airport is advising travelers to check on their flight status by calling airlines, looking on phl.org or calling the toll-free flight information number: 1-800-745-4283.

The National Weather Service had issued a dense fog advisory, but cancelled it around noontime Sunday, saying some patchy fog remained but visibility had improved to a mile or more and continued improvement could be expected in the afternoon.
